Our Rides
We strive to offer a broad and diverse calendar of rides throughout the year. Our most active period is during the warmer months (May – September), though many of our dedicated members ride through the winter as well. For those who prefer indoor cycling during colder months, we have the Jubilee Park Cycling Club on Zwift, where we host group rides and races.
In addition to local rides, we organize cycling trips both within the UK and abroad, providing opportunities to explore new routes and strengthen the bonds among our members. Our calendar, available on the home page, is regularly updated with details of rides, trips, and social events. However, to ensure you never miss an update, we recommend joining our Ride Organisation WhatsApp group and our Facebook Group.
Check-In Rides
Cycling is excellent for mental health, providing a wonderful way to decompress and reflect on daily life’s ups and downs. Once a month, we hold a Check-in Ride. These rides are typically shorter, covering 25-50 km, and proceed at a steadier pace on quieter roads and lanes. There’s always a coffee and cake stop, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to stretch their legs. Whether you need to talk or simply want to enjoy the scenery and fresh air, this ride is designed for you.
Mid-Week Meanders
From May to September, we regularly organize mid-week evening rides. We are fortunate to have Cwmcarn Forest Drive practically on our doorstep, making it a club favorite. As the evenings get longer and warmer, the Draethen loop becomes another popular choice. And what better way to reward yourself for a great ride than with a cheeky pint or two, celebrating all that’s great about cycling?
Weekend Rides & Sportives
The weekend is when the fun really begins, isn’t it?! We strive to offer organized rides on alternating Saturdays and Sundays to accommodate our members’ various commitments. While life and the good old British weather sometimes get in the way, you won’t have to wait long between rides.
We are massive fans of sportives, with The Tour De Gwent, The Dragon Ride, and Carten100 being club favorites. As a perk for Full Members, the club supports participation in these events by offering a 15% rebate on entry fees.
